The politician, who was indecently filmed in what appeared to be in the act with someone's wife, said he was kidnapped, stripped and forced to say what the goons wanted as they recorded the ordeal.

"I don't know the woman, neither do I have a relationship with her. I was set up after I refused to dish out KSh5 million," he said.

He said the gangsters hijacked and took him to an isolated house in Githingiri estate in the outskirts of Thika town, where he was tortured, stripped naked and threatened to be killed if he defied them.

Ndambiri said the heavily armed goons threatened to kill him if he defied them.

The DG, who was grateful to be alive, said the heavily armed goons threatened to kill him if he refused to recite what they wanted as they filmed.

"They took me through very argonising moments. Right now what matters to me most is about my family which I treasure most and people of Kirinyaga who look unto me for guidance and leadership," said the crestfallen politician.

Contrary to what many were led to believe earlier, the scandalous incident occurred in Thika and not in Kakamega County during the devolution conference.
